'Vampires Suck' tops Wednesday box office

No, I haven't seen "Vampires Suck" yet, but I have that feeling it's a piece of junk. After all, it's the latest movie from Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, dudes behind "Disaster Movie" and "Epic Movie."

Still, "Vampires Suck" opened Wednesday and jumped straight to the top of the box office, earning $4 million from ticket sales at 2,978 sites. Average per theater stood at $1,349, which is not all that terrible.

"Suck" is a spoof of films like "Twilight" and "Alice in Wonderland." I don't think it will hold up for long up there, but yes, it beat Sylvester Stallone's "The Expendables" Wednesday (that one took $3 million).

The players: Director: Jason Friedberg, Aaron Seltzer, Writers: Jason Friedberg, Aaron Seltzer, Cast: Matt Lanter, Vanessa Minnillo, Gary "G-Thang" Johnson, Nicole Parker, Crista Flanagan, Carmen Electra, Kimberly Kardashian

Facts of interest: None whatsoever.

The plot: A group of idiots struggle to survive a series of natural disasters, including twisters, asteroids and earthquakes.

Our quick thoughts: If “Disaster Movie” is currently topping one chart, it’s IMDb’s Bottom 100 list. I honestly don’t know what we did wrong to deserve this, but Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer decided to punish us yet again with another one of their stupid spoofs that not many people out there want to see.

Then again, the sad truth is that there are still plenty of people out there getting a kick out of this crap. Anyway, this time the plot centers on a group of idiots struggling to survive as the world comes to an end. In an attempt to save one of their friends, they must fight their way through a series of earthquakes, asteroids and, believe it or not, an awkward encounter with flesh-eating chipmunks.

Watch two lame 'Disaster Movie' clips

If you haven't had enough of awful spoofs yet, you may want to check out "Disaster Movie" when it opens Aug. 29, 2008. In the tradition of the "Scary Movie" series, "Epic Movie" and "Meet the Spartans," Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer's upcoming "disaster" takes great pleasure in ridiculing every big Hollywood flick out there.

Today we have two new clips from the film. The first one was released by MTV and spoofs a scene from "Juno." In the second one... well, see for yourself. I hope you enjoy them more than I did.
